$ 132,000.00 Lehigh Valley PA

In the summer of 2012, the Lehigh Valley dog bite attorney obtained a $132,000.00 Lehigh Valley dog bite settlement for a Whitehall PA resident. In the fall of 2009, the little girl was taken by her parents to her grandparent’s home in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania for a party. A husband and wife from Allentown brought their Rottweiler along with them to this social event.

Soon thereafter, the dog owners left the event without properly securing the Rottweiler. Since there were a number of small children at the gathering, the prudent thing to do would have been to restrain the dog in a locked room or in a dog crate. Unfortunately, the Rottweiler was allowed to roam unsupervised through the house and it bit the child in the face as she tried to pet it.

The Lehigh Valley dog attack victim was treated at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown PA. A plastic surgeon was called to treat the facial dog bite wounds. He used nearly 50 sutures to close the facial lacerations. Several months after the unprovoked dog attack, the attorney for dog bites in Lehigh Valley traveled to the victim’s home in Whitehall PA. Attorney Newell reviewed all the legal options and provided a detailed game plan through which he was going to maximize the value of this Lehigh Valley dog attack case.

Follow-up plastic surgery was performed on the girl’s face approximately one year after the dog attack. The Lehigh Valley dog bite injury attorney obtained all of this client’s medical records, billing statements and photographs. Attorney Thomas J. Newell provided a complete settlement demand package to the insurance adjusters for both the homeowner and dog owners. Attempts at agreeing to a fair Lehigh Valley dog bite compensation amount were unsuccessful.

Therefore, in the fall of 2011, the Lehigh Valley lawyer for dog attacks filed a Lehigh Valley dog bite injury lawsuit with the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas in Allentown PA. The dog attack law firms exchanged Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents. In the summer of 2012, Depositions of the parties were scheduled to take place in Allentown. Several days before the Depositions, the personal injury lawyers resumed negotiations and a settlement of the Lehigh County Pennsylvania dog attack injury lawsuit was agreed to.

The lawyer for dog bites in Lehigh Valley filed a Minor’s Compromise Petition with the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas. Attorney Newell represented the PA animal attack victim and her parents at a hearing before Judge Johnson on 8/16/12.

This financial decision maximized the tax-free payments of the Lehigh Valley dog bite case settlement.

$ 115,000.00 Lehigh Valley PA

In the spring of 2017, the attorney for dog attacks in the Lehigh Valley negotiated a $115,000.00 Lehigh Valley dog bite settlement on behalf of a young woman. Two years earlier, she had been a guest at a friend’s party in Nazareth Pennsylvania. It was suggested that she pose for a photograph with the homeowners’ family pet. Without any notice, the adult male dog jumped up and attacked her. The dog bit her several times in the face.

Her friend’s parents convinced her that medical treatment was unnecessary. They stopped the bleeding and used ice to close up the facial wounds. When she awoke the next morning, she took a selfie and forwarded it to her mother who insisted that she immediately seek medical care. The ER physician at St. Luke’s Hospital concluded that it was too late to perform surgery because the wound had already begun to heal. He prescribed various medications to help reduce the possibility of infection setting in.

Just four days after the unprovoked PA dog attack, your Lehigh Valley dog bite injury lawyer met with the young woman and her mother at their Nazareth PA home. Attorney Newell outlined his strategy for maximizing the value of the PA dog bite attack claim and requested that his client concentrate on obtaining a full recovery. Arrangements were made for her to be evaluated by two different plastic surgeons. The consensus was that there were no guarantees that a plastic surgical procedure would significantly improve the aesthetics of the facial disfigurement.

Once the decision was made to put off additional medical care, the Lehigh Valley dog bite accident attorney ordered and paid for copies of all of his client’s medical records and billing statements. Attorney Thomas J. Newell then arranged a meeting involving himself, the defense adjuster and the dog bite victim. This enabled the defendants’ representative to personally observe the facial scar, as well as interact with the young lady. Shortly thereafter, settlement negotiations concluded with an agreement that they dog owner’s insurance carrier would pay a $115,000.00 Lehigh Valley dog attack settlement.

$ 101,000.00 Lehigh Valley PA

On December 1, 2014, the Lehigh Valley dog bite lawyer obtained a $101,000.00 Lehigh Valley dog attack settlement for a Whitehall Pennsylvania resident. Nearly two years earlier, she had traveled to a house in Allentown PA to visit her granddaughter. As she was leaving, the homeowner’s terrier jumped up and bit her in the face near her right eye.

Since Sacred Heart Hospital was only a couple of blocks away, the Lehigh Valley dog bite victim walked to the Emergency Room in Allentown. She was injected with a local anesthetic. The surgeon closed the facial dog bite wounds with seven sutures. He also gave her a tetanus shot and antibiotics. Given the nature of the dog attack lacerations, they were worried about the possibility of infection.

After he was hired, the Lehigh Valley dog attack attorney urged his client to provide complete cooperation to the PA Dog Warden for Lehigh County – Orlando Aguirre. The Lehigh Valley resident gave the Dog Warden copies of the hospital records and photographs of her facial wounds, as well as information regarding prior attacks by this aggressive dog. The Lehigh Valley dog attack lawyer encouraged the Lehigh County Dog Warden to file PA Dog Law charges versus the reckless dog owner.

A Hearing was held on 4/29/13 in Allentown PA before Lehigh Valley District Justice Karen Devine. The Lehigh Valley dog bite victim testified under oath about her dog bite incident and five prior attacks by the defendant’s dog. The District Justice agreed with the PA Dog Warden and the Lehigh Valley dog bite attorney and found the Allentown dog owner guilty of Harboring a Dangerous Dog in violation of the PA Dog Law.

Meanwhile, the Whitehall resident continued to obtain necessary medical care. Nearly a year after the Lehigh Valley dog attack, she underwent scar revision surgery. This surgical procedure somewhat reduced the visibility of the facial scar. The lawyer for dog bites in Lehigh Valley obtained his client’s wage loss documents, complete medical records and current photographs.

When settlement negotiations began, Attorney Newell stressed to the dog owner’s insurance carrier how important the five prior dog attacks were in evaluating this Lehigh Valley dog bite claim. The attorney for dog bites in Lehigh Valley averred that the reckless dog owner would be responsible for both compensatory damages and punitive damages if a Lehigh Valley dog bite lawsuit was filed with the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas in Allentown PA.

Initially, the homeowner’s insurance company was reluctant to pay its liability policy limit. Therefore, the Lehigh Valley dog bite injury lawyer took his client to meet with the defense adjuster and her supervisor at their corporate office. After listening to Attorney Newell’s legal argument and meeting the Lehigh Valley dog bite victim, they consented to pay their $101,000.00 policy limit.

$ 71,107.48 Lehigh Valley PA

In the spring of 2011, your Lehigh Valley dog attack lawyer negotiated a Northampton County PA dog bite settlement in the amount of $71,107.48. The previous year, a USPS employee was delivering mail on her route in the Lehigh Valley. The homeowners’ boxer pushed open the front screen door and attacked the mail carrier. The woman was able to use her mailbag to beat off the vicious dog and finally the boxer was controlled by one of its owners.

As the postal worker was walking back to her delivery truck, another one of the residents’ dogs got loose and pursued her. Fortunately, she made it safely to her vehicle. The PA dog bite victim was treated Lehigh Valley Hospital on the day of the unprovoked dog attack, as well as three days later. Unfortunately, she had to be admitted to St. Luke’s Hospital for several days as her right leg became infected. A physician performed surgery to cut away dead tissue and antibiotics were administered intravenously.

After her release from the hospital, the United States Postal Service employee had several follow-up appointments with her orthopedic surgeon. Some areas on and around the dog attack wounds were supersensitive to the touch, while others were completely numb. In the meantime, your Lehigh Valley dog attack injury attorney provided a free home consultation to the PA dog bite victim and her husband.

Attorney Newell filed a Right-To-Know Request with State officials in Harrisburg PA to see if there were any records of prior attacks by the defendants’ dogs. Once all of his client’s medical care had ended, the Lehigh Valley dog bite accident lawyer ordered and obtained copies of all of the medical records, bills and scar photographs. Given the psychological issues the mail carrier was dealing with, she was particularly pleased that Attorney Thomas J. Newell was able to settle the case without having to file a Lehigh Valley dog bite lawsuit.

A year earlier, a Lehigh County resident was walking a dog in Allentown PA. The small dog was on a leash and the woman was following Pennsylvania laws regarding maintaining control of her dog. Unfortunately, an Allentown PA dog owner chose not to comply with the PA Dog Law.

The negligent dog owner allowed his American Bulldog/pit bull mix to run loose and unrestrained in the streets of Allentown. This unsupervised dog attacked the woman and her terrier. The mixed breed dog grabbed the small dog by its neck and shook it violently. As the horrified woman tried to free the terrier from the jaws of the attacking dog, she was bitten multiple times on both hands.

An Allentown PA police officer arrived at the scene of the unprovoked dog attack. After obtaining the facts regarding the dog mauling, he drove the Lehigh Valley resident to Sacred Heart Hospital in Allentown. The emergency room doctor gave her a tetanus shot, cleansed the dog bite wounds to her hands and gave her medication to help fight infections.

Two days after this vicious dog attack, the Lehigh Valley dog attack injury attorney provided a free home consultation to the PA dog bite victim. Based upon his years of experience, Attorney Newell advised her as to the medical care needed to properly treat the dog bite wounds. He was particularly concerned regarding the possibility of her developing an infection – a frequent occurrence in dog bite wounds to the hands.

The Lehigh Valley dog bite victim dealt with a variety of problems with her hands including: numbness, tingling, diminished range of motion, diminished strength and the formation of scar tissue. Her orthopedic doctor diagnosed her with cellulitis and, she followed through with his request that she undergo physical therapy for several months to treat all of those problems.

In the fall of 2012, the Lehigh Valley dog bite accident lawyer attended a District Justice Hearing in Allentown Pennsylvania. After receiving testimony from the Lehigh Valley dog bite victim, D. J.

$ 37,500.00 Lehigh Valley PA

In March of 2016, the attorney for dog attacks in the Lehigh Valley settled a Lehigh County PA dog bite claim for $37,500.00. Attorney Newell had filed a detailed Petition for Minor’s Compromise with the Orphans’ Court Division of the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas. Judge Johnson approved the settlement and authorized the opening of a restricted minor’s account for the PA dog bite victim.

Your Lehigh Valley dog attack injury lawyer was hired in the fall of 2014, just days after the unprovoked dog attack. A 10 year old girl was walking on a sidewalk with her father. They passed the defendants who were walking their German Shepherd. The child came to a stop and slowly put her hand out for the dog to smell. Suddenly, and without warning, it lunged at her and bit her right arm.

$ 36,000.00 Lehigh Valley PA

In November of 2017, the Lehigh Valley dog bite attorney was given permission by a Northampton County Court of Common Pleas Judge to finalize a $36,000.00 Lehigh Valley dog attack settlement. Eleven months earlier, a girl was invited by a classmate to visit her home over the Christmas holiday. The host had a family pet – a black Chow. Unbeknownst to the visitor and her parents, this dog had previously attacked and injured another person.

The defendants lived in a gated community and the property manager had instructed them to remove the vicious dog from the premises. Not only did they ignore that specific direction, but to add insult to injury, the owners of the Chow failed to take any precautionary steps to ensure the safety of their guests. The Chow was never locked up in a room, nor was it placed inside a dog cage. As a result, it had free run of the defendants’ residence and was able to attack the girl without any resistance.

The Duncannon Pennsylvania resident was immediately rushed to Palmerton Hospital. The emergency room doctor used approximately 20 sutures to treat the facial dog attack wounds. Anti-infection medications were prescribed and follow-up visits with her pediatrician were required. In the meantime, your lawyer for dog bites in the Lehigh Valley met with the Northampton County residents at their home. Attorney Newell put forth a detailed legal plan with which he would use to maximize the financial recovery in the PA dog attack case.

Once all of the medical care had concluded, Thomas J. Newell, Esq. paid for a copy of his client’s medical bills and records. The parents provided recent photographs depicting the permanent dog attack scars. The dog owners’ insurance carrier agreed to the $36,000.00 dog attack payout pending court permission. Judge Edward G Smith held a hearing and granted the settlement approval request of the Lehigh Valley dog accident lawyer.
